Alberta Regional Geohash

Waiting for a decent geohash to come my way (or spring, both seem far off) has left me time to map out the graticules in the province of Alberta, much like Robyn has for British Columbia.

There are 98 graticules in all (99 if you count Lloydminster E).

I am tracking overall regional progress. Green represents a successful hash; light green represents an attempted hash; white is still completely untouched. Please let me know if I have missed any expeditions

Graticule names

I have not changed any existing graticule names. My rules for graticule naming are simple: Name the graticule after the more populous urban centre in the graticule, preferably closer to the centre of the graticule. There are times when I favour more recognizeable place names over more populous urban centres, like names of towns on the weather map. If anyone has any suggestions for alternative names I would be happy to hear them.

-I'll colour the map later - I think I'll track hashing progress overall, and not my own personal acheivements. As of now, there are 5 graticules succesfully hashed out of 6 attempted.
